It does not weather like most materials but yes it can be repainted if necessary. Our paint coatings are durometer matched to our product to prevent lifting and chipping of surface colored installations.

No. KBI Flexi®-Pave is a moisture-cured product and if the product were actually mixed in the rain the curing would be greatly speeded up, causing the mixture to stiffen and making it impossible to work with. However, when KBI Flexi®-Pave has just been installed the rain will accelerate the curing process, which is why in certain cases a light mist of water is used to accelerate the curing process.

The removal rates are for the KBI Flexi®-Pave system-its sub-base (#57 stone) over lay with two inches of KBI Flexi®-Pave. We wanted to specifically determine the KBI Flexi®-Pave system's ability to remove nutrients because soils will vary with each installation site. We do have a methodology developed by the University of Florida that we can use to determine the phosphorous storage capacity of the underlying soil (similar to the USDA's P saturation percentage). This then gives us the ability to look at the KBI Flexi®-Pave system and subsoil and predict its removal of P and the longevity of said removal.

Yes. The products are manufactured using a nominal 3/8” rubber granule, which enables fast evacuation of water through its thickness because of the “open-pore” design. KBI Flexi®-Pave is capable of handling 4,000 inches of water per hour.
